After Wei Jiang was killed, Chu Ling also cried like this, but what he got in exchange was a severe beating. He also cried like this when he was locked in the woodshed without food or water, but No one paid attention to him. He had been looking forward to someone coming to save him and his big brother to pick him up. But no one came to save him or pick him up. Even Wei Jiang died.
So he no longer had expectations or extravagant hopes, because no one would come to save him, and his elder brother would not come to pick him up. He was desperate and accepted his fate. He no longer thought about the future and the past, and he did not cry or make trouble. Like a walking zombie, quietly waiting for death to come.
However, his aunt's warm embrace ignited his hope again. Can he still ask for more? Will his aunt leave him like Wei Jiang? Although she has brought her back now, she will again in the future. Won't you leave yourself behind?
Chu Ling cried heartbreakingly, and Shen Wan and Qiu Ju also felt very sad.
After crying for a long time, Chu Ling stopped crying when she was tired. Shen Wan and Qiu Ju gave him a bath, washed his hair, dried his body and put on clean clothes. While bathing him, they also saw There were many bruises on his body, obviously from being beaten.
Then, Shen Wan carried Chu Ling into the house, placed him on the soft couch, and gently wiped his hair with a dry towel.
Chu Ling had not enjoyed such warmth for a long time. With his eyes closed, he felt as if he had returned to that gorgeous palace. In the past, his mother would often put him on the soft couch and wipe his hair like this.
"Auntie, you are like my mother, mother." He used to say mother, queen. When he realized that he was about to say something, he immediately changed his words.
Mother? Shen Wan frowned, smiled, and said softly: "Then you can also call me mother."
This child must have become like this because she lost her mother. Naturally, she would not ask "Where is your mother?" without thinking.
"Really?" Chu Ling raised her head and looked at Shen Wan with a pair of bright star eyes.
Shen Wan touched his thin and sunken face, smiled and nodded: "Of course it is true, do you want to live with me in the future?"
When she saw him again in Yahang, she had the idea of adopting him. Moreover, since they could meet again in Yahang, it proved that this child was destined to her. She really didn't want such a good child to live on the street again. Or be enslaved.
Qiu Ju looked at Shen Wan with some surprise. Does Madam want to adopt Ling'er as her adopted son? Doesn't this mean that she has to talk to the old Madam and the General first and get their consent?
Chu Ling bit her lip, thinking about it but not daring to say it, because he couldn't believe it was true. He seemed to be in a dream now, and he was afraid that if he said it, he would wake up from the dream.
"Don't you want to?" Shen Wan asked with a smile.
Chu Ling whispered: "I, can I?"
"Of course." Shen Wan looked at him with a smile.
Chu Ling frowned, swallowed and said, "I think so."
Shen Wan touched his head and said, "Well, from now on, you will be my son, Shen Wan."
"By the way, Ling'er, what's your surname?" His deceased relative was named Wei Jiang, so his surname should also be Wei!
Chu Ling thought for a moment and said, "What's your mother's surname? What will my surname be in the future?"
The surname Chu is the surname of the Chu State, and there are no people named Chu in Dongchen.
"Then you will call her Shen Ling from now on?" Shen Wan raised her eyebrows.
"Yes." Chu Ling nodded vigorously, great, he has a mother again.
"By the way Ling'er, why were you sold to Yazi by the innkeeper?" Shen Wan looked at Chu Ling seriously and asked.
Chu Ling's eyes showed pain, remembering the memory that made him despair, fear, and pain. The fatal despair almost swallowed him up again.
He was silent for a moment, and finally decided to tell his mother everything. Maybe if he told her, he could avenge Wei Jiang.
"Because they killed Wei Jiang and took away our banknotes. They also sold me for money."
"What?" Shen Wan and Qiu Ju exclaimed.
How dare someone do such a arrogant thing under the emperor's feet? Shen Wan and Qiu Ju never expected that he would be sold to Ren Yazi, and this was what happened.
Then, Chu Ling used his childish voice to talk about everything that happened after he left without saying goodbye that day.
